This book is the first complete biography of George Minchin Minchin (1845–1914), professor of applied mathematics at the Royal Indian Engineering College. Minchin’s extraordinary range of accomplishments offers a unique inside view of the major technological and educational developments of late nineteenth century Britain. The scientific community’s excitement during the early days of electromagnetic theory, wireless telegraphy, and x-rays are revealed by Minchin’s letters to eminent friends (notably the Maxwellians, Oliver Lodge and George Francis Fitzgerald). This book also traces Minchin’s little-known pioneering work on photoelectricity, which led to the first electrical measurements of starlight and laid the foundations for solar cells and television. Minchin’s mathematical textbooks were praised for their lucidity, and his advanced pedagogical thinking underpinned his lifelong work on reforming science education. He explained scientific concepts for a general audience using science fiction poetry and critiqued contemporary society in sharp and humorous satires. These works provide fresh perspectives on the place of science in Victorian society. This book is for anyone fascinated by the late nineteenth century revolution in electrical technologies.This is also a valuable read for historians of science, and for those interested in technical education, and science and society in Victorian Britain.
Excerpt from Uniplanar Kinematics of Solids and Fluids: With Applications to the Distribution and Flow of Electricity The present work aims at supplying a deficiency in the course of Mathematical Physics usually pursued by the higher class students in our Colleges and Universities. In the majority of cases, I think, little attention is paid to the special study of Kinematics, and, as a consequence, the student enters into the study of Kinetics with somewhat misty notions of acceleration and other leading conceptions which belong to the province of Kinematics. In view of the great progress which has been made in this country in Experimental Physics, under the leadership of Faraday, Thomson, and Clerk Maxwell, it appears to me very desirable to include in the ordinary course of higher mathematics as much as possible of the application of mathematics to physical problems - at the expense, no doubt, of its applications to manifest unrealities. Hence a large portion of the work deals with the theory of fluid motion and electric distribution and flow. Anything like a complete treatise on general (or three-dimensional) Kinematics would be a much more difficult task, and would be addressed to a very limited class of students. When, however, the leading results for motion in one plane are properly mastered, the student will have little difficulty in understanding what they become when a third co-ordinate is introduced. Thus much as to the general aim of the work. The subjects treated of call for a few special remarks. In Chapter I considerable attention is devoted to the Instantaneous Centre (of velocities), and in Chapter II much prominence is given to the Instantaneous Acceleration Centre, with the accompanying Centrodes, some results with regard to which will probably be new to most readers. Applications of these results are made to several problems, the solutions of which are thus simplified. Professor Wolstenholme kindly placed his Book of Mathematical Problems at my disposal, and I have freely availed myself of his permission to select illustrative questions. Chapter III deals largely with Roulettes, and aims at bringing under one general principle the discussion of many isolated results.
